The following information was acquired via internet research and via Highlander chat lists. Grrr and Zim Highlander brothers, one standard, one non-standard The Highland Lynx and the others mentioned above are registered with REFR. **In short the Highlanders are TICA Registered and though they got their bearings in the Highland Lynx with The REFR registry, they are now their own cat. If we have Highlander cats and register with TICA, ALL kittens born of Highlanders are also Highlanders (regardless of ear or tail manifestations) Much like a Manx born with a tail is still a Manx. So if we register our cats as Highland Lynx with the REFR, all the kittens with straight ears are called Desert Lynx, and those with curled ears are the Highland Lynx. When the Highlander Lynx was taken into TICA and made into a Highlander, it became a different cat really, with different standards and different rules.
Except for the one feature in each cat, they were the same breed. Joe Childers, the breeder chose to call the straight eared kittens Desert Lynx, Pure white kittens-Alpine Lynx, Curly coat kittens-Mohave Bob. Highland Lynx was the original breed registered with REFR. What makes a Highlander a Highlander and not a Highland Lynx ~ as told to me by Holley Wise-Nicholson: The cuddles and purrs they give out to all whom they encounter endear them to even the most devoted "non cat people." Not to mention the hours of entertainment they provide with their boundless energy and never ending antics. The Highlanders unique look of the wild mixes quite well in the large breed cat lovers family and makes for a fabulous conversation piece. They get along very well with large breed cats such as Savannahs, and Bengals. Highlander cats are well renowned for their ability to adapt easily to any situation.

If they cannot provide proof of TICA registration it is NOT A HIGHLANDER! If purchasing your Highlander from breeders not listed on the Highlander Breeder's website, ask for proof of TICA registration before you buy. The Highlander is currently a Preliminary New Breed with the International Cat Association (TICA).
